As the old adage goes, you never ever forget your first love.

Which is certainly true of Miley Cyrus, who has given a special thank you to ex-fiancé Liam Hemsworth on the sleeve notes of her new album.

The pop star gives a lovely shout out to the Aussie actor in Bangerz, due for release tomorrow and wrote: "I couldn't have made this album without one person . . . FE, thank you for inspiring me. (PS I love you)."

FeFe is believed to be the pet name the 20-year-old 'We Can't Stop' singer gave the 23-year-old Hunger Games actor.

Ok, so they split up last month (officially) but we don't know whether the note was written before or after they went their separate ways.

But it was clearly meant to to be on there, and they were together for four years so it's actually rather fitting.

And also very sweet.

The pair met on the set of movie The Last Song in 2009 but it was revealed last month , after a year-long engagement, that they had gone their separate ways.

And according to Us magazine, they didn't exactly end on good terms either.

A source told the publication: "Liam and Miley are completely done and broken up. She wants nothing to do with him, and vice versa. It's bad."

Liam, who will soon be seen in the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire and is currently filming Mockingjay, the last one in the trilogy, has more than moved on having been spotted snogging South American model Eiza Gonzalez .

But Miley has gone on the defensive about their break-up and recently told Fashion magazine it was HER that ended it between them, despite reports he had called it a day after her MTV VMA antics caused him too much embarrassment.
